Upgrade from Space Navigator to Space Pilot
Moderator: Moderators
Hi torniaccio,
What configuration is selected in 3DxWare? It should be "CATIA." Select that specific configuration, then delete all other user configurations.
After that, open the "Button Configuration" panel in CATIA and check that, by pressing the SpacePilot "Config" button, your are able to cycle through the configurations. Also check that the LCD reflects that same change.
If all is well, close the "Button Configuration, press the "Config" button and check the LCD: again you should see the mappings changing as their were when the "Button Configuration" was up.

Hi Nuno,
The Config. selected is Catia, but the 3dx control panel doesn't allow me to delete "catiav5 preR15 1 & 2", but i've disable them.
In Catia "button config" panel by pressing the SpacePilot "Config" button, I am able to cycle through the configurations, and the LCD reflects that same change.
But when I close the "Button Configuration" and I press the "Config" button the LCD say "Next Catia config" then it doesn't change nothing.
It stay again on "Default 1". It doesn't cycle to "default 2".
Ciao Roberto

This is a problem with CATIA R16. Can you update to the latest service pack (SP5 or later)?torniaccio wrote:But when I close the "Button Configuration" and I press the "Config" button the LCD say "Next Catia config" then it doesn't change nothing.

Hi guys,
i feel a different sensibility from the Sn. It (the SP) seems like to have a kind of dominant axis, but only when i make little movements.
I've tried to change the speed, but it always seems too fast or too hard and anyway it has this kind of dominant axis.
Ciao roberto.

Hi,
I've make some tests using the SN Vs SP, and the only difference it's about the software I use.
In ProE I feel a very smooth motion and a good precision in little movement.
It's the same in 3dsMAx.
But in Catia I feel a movement that goes too much jerky; it too quickly accelerates, and the motion it si not so smooth.
I think that some catia's settings can resolve this little annoying feature.
Thanks Ciao, Roberto.

Hi torniaccio,
If you are using a V4 document, try creating a very simple model in the native V5 document format and check if the performance is what you expect.
V5 is one of the best performing apps with a 3D mouse.
Are you using a CATIA V4 document? The import of V4 documents in V5 is not always as smooth as it should and the camera parameters might be wrong/inconsistent.But in Catia I feel a movement that goes too much jerky; it too quickly accelerates, and the motion it si not so smooth.

Hi Nuno,
No, I'm not using a v4 document.
But I've switched on (in Catia options panel_navigation settings) the "frame per second for 3dx" and I've set it on 30, it seems to be better than before.
But I always feel that (with little movements) the motion "jump" from the static position to the minimum speed (allowed by the settings) with no smooth acceleration.
Ciao Roberto.
